[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We tell applicants every year why they get rejected. There’s a lot of other applicants, the applicant pool was strong, and your application wasn’t at the top. Learning to take no for an answer is an important skill.[/quote] That doesn’t help current juniors choose which schools to put on their college list. The “advice” seems to be, “apply to as many schools as humanly possible, because you have no right to get into any, no matter how well you did in high school! And there’s no way to predict in advance which might accept you!”[/quote] The advice is to apply to 2 or so safety schools, mostly apply to schools your stats align with, and have a couple reach schools. Any "pressure" to get into a top college is self inflicted.[/quote] +1 if the schools you crave made it easier to get in, you wouldn't want them anymore. You WANT the low admit rate, you just want it to be your kid who made the cut.[/quote]
